I've just had a call from a lady who has had a rabbit dumped in her garden (in a little hutch). She's fed it and watered it but obviously it can't stay there. She is in Crewe (Cheshire). She's tried the RSPCA but hasn't had much luck finding anywhere that can take it. Any ideas? Rescues are abit short on the ground in that area.

There used be a lady on Buxton road in Macclesfield that look in small animals but my mum has no idea weather she still does!

Also there is Eliane in Manchester but she has no transport so the Lady would have to take it there.

if she gets it to me then I can take it as long as there is a hutch as I am getting rather full

It is in a hutch but from what she said its only a 3' one, she says her own guinea pig has a bigger house than the rabbit was dumped in.

that would be fine as I can arrange some of the others but I couldn't take it without the hutch

It was dumped with the rabbit so I'm sure they'll be no problem with you having it. I'll give her a ring and give her your number so she can get in touch and sort out arrangements.

Thanks Elaine!

One of our forum members is going to meet him/her tommorow and hopefully offer him a home. If not she might be able to hold on to hhim until you have more space Elaine as I'm not sure the hutch will be good for anything.

Its me, its me.....lol
I'm meeting her tmw at McDonnels in Crewe :shock:

I have a spare hutch and run. I'll take it to the vets for a check up anyhow.

The only problem is, I won't be able to keep her/him if it's got Pasturella etc.
I just wouldn't want to risk all my other animals.

Any advice much apprieciated!

Oh my god, its in awful condition.
It's some where in between a a cashmere lop and a dwarf lop
It's quite woolly though :?:

Its covered in matts and lugs, which I have removed.
He sat for ages being brushed, he is really good tempered.
I was convinced, because he so gorgeous that he would be vicious!
Nope, he's great!

I left it in it's hutch, which is huge btw. (and extremely heavy!)
It hardly fitted in the suzuki! :shock:
I have attached a run, and I've never seen a rabbit binky soooo much.
He does forwards, backwards, and sideways binkies.
Then he collapses in a heap! Poor thing!

I'll post a piccy soon.

Ps. We've named him Dylan.
